It will take a while: to be digested but if it felt like passing through your esophagus okay then it will get digested in your stomach slowly over the next 3-4 hours. If it's not moving through the esophagus and you have a point of pain/ stuck sensation then you may need to go to ER for X-ray to make sure. Usually the esophagus will undulate and move its muscles to get anything like this down on its own.
